Right to education
Though t
he children of India have gained the constitutional right to education,
pre-schoolers are still to be included in the free education programme. Experience shows
that slum toddlers do not lead a privileged life in the arms of caring parents.
They are often left totheir own device and even used as child labour.
Some are physically abused, tied to charpoys while their mothers go to work. Others are left to uncaring elders and learn aggressive behaviour and bad language. By the time they reach school, they are unsocial difficult children who find it extremely difficult to adjust to a set pattern and routine.
Our early intervention programme is above all aimed at giving toddlers and pre-schoolers the right
to babyhood in a safe environment. Access to toys, games and other stimulating activities enable
the child to develop required skills.
Social skills have to be learnt at an early stage. Our early intervention programme lays emphasis on
teaching toddlers how to play together, share and take the first step towards living together.

flagship creche govindpuri
our flagship early education is perhaps our most upmarket activity. Though its is housed
today in its own premisses on the ground floor of our building and boasts of its own bathroom , it began like everything else
in project why, in a tiny veranda with a handful of kids, went through its pig park and under the tent
days.
However today its a well run project, divided into three sections. Emphasis is laid on deleveloping the child's creative
side and emphasis is on learning as fun!. It is also a place where there one can see
a greater cross section of society from the poorest of the poor to second and third generation learners.

our prep class
Keeping in mind the pressure that kids are subjected to in schools in India, and the stress on excellence and marks, it was decided to begin a
formal prep class for the older children of the early education programme. Though this is not in tune with our own views, we were compelled to include this
class to keep in tune with the demands of the education system and of parents!
